  1. If a comic is sold in Mixed, and no one is there to see it, is it really sold?
  2. It stopped at $200K+. The average income of their customer base could determine how they structure their service fees and options.For instance, if the majority of their customers make, say, $40k a year then they may develop a new discount tier to entice people with less disposable income to submit. If the majority of their customers make, say, $140k a year then they might eliminate tiers like Value and focus on tightening up the higher dollar tiers.
  3. That's all for now. I'm excited to see how few views this thread gets out here in Mixed.
  4. Ten Story Love 3. Great cover by Alice Kirkpatrick. VG. Chip out of right edge of cover. $50.
  5. Do You Believe in Nightmares 1. St John. Steve Ditko cover and every story inside. Good. $35. SOLD
  6. Haunted Horror 10 CGC 9.8. Reprints LB Cole's cover to Mask 1. $75. SOLD
  7. 3 paperbacks with LB Cole covers. Average grade of VG. Some really tough books here. $125 for the trio.
  8. Awesome Ninja Turtle original art, in color, by Eric Talbot. On heavy stock. Measures about 7x10. $175.
  9. The consensus thus far is 4.0, which is the grade it was assigned by the dealer from whom I purchased it.
  10. Ooh, that sounds good; always looking for an interesting doc. Is it put together well? It's professionally done, and goes by at a nice pace. There's not a whole lot of info presented that someone who's been following the industry for the past few decades wouldn't already know but it's still interesting. My one resonating takeaway was the startling amount of money those guys were making in the early 90s.
  11. Generally, every non-superhero Golden Age book derives its value almost exclusively from its cover.
  12. I walked into a LCS today and bought a nice Four Color 178 off the wall. The books are still out there in the wild.
  13. I'll have the book in hand tomorrow and will let you know.
  14. One lot of three industry mags. Call them mid grade. Very interesting reading, including some nice history on crime books and a retrospective on LB Cole. Includes Comic Book Marketplace 53 and 65, and Alter Ego 117. $12 shipped for the lot of em. Alter Ego 117 and CBM 65 sold. CBM 53 FREE with any purchase. Just claim it.
  15. First takeit wins and immediately trumps all PM negotiations. Any variation of "takeit" counts. I accept Paypal, Venmo, check, money order or cash. No Hall of Shamers or Probies. Payment expected in 72 hours unless we work it out ahead of time. US shipping is included. I will ship internationally at cost. Three days' return shipping from receipt. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost back unless item was damaged in transit. Please do not edit takeits and please do not commit to buy unless you intend to follow through.
  16. I still buy at LCS', conventions, antique malls, etc. These places are all still viable for the collector's supply chain.
  17. This is good advice, and I will be revising my thread rules with something similar.
